Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
COMMUNITY fund executive committeemen
met this week to survey the results of
Kinori financial drives in this community
fc.MIIMa.u
Biid to decide wlicuior ims
method of raisin, money for
worthy projects should be con
tinued. Their decision, after consid
erable discussion, was to go
ahead with a combined drive,
at least on a local level.
Whether the drive will be ex
tended in the future to Include
other than local beneficiaries
will be determined later.
. i .
Some years agu, me u.r FPL.EY
Scout, Girl Scouts and Camp
Fire fund drives were combined, and with
great success. j j
Then came the war chest, bringing into the
picture various national agencies. The major
national beneficiary was USO, but there were
a number of others, including those which do
relief and similar work in foreign lands.
The war chest was tried one year here with
out connection with the drive for local bene
ficiaries. It fizzled. ' .
For the last two years, the war chest, local
beneficiaries, and several state agencies which
customarily make fund campaigns here, were
all combined in one drive. The first year, the
goal was reached, after it had been adjusted
downward. The second year, the drive fell
considerably short.
- a
Go Ahead
DESPITE these experiences, however, the
executive committeemen gathered this
week came to a conclusion that the commun
ity chest idea has been properly launched in
Klamath Falls and should continue. The feel
ing existed that the numerous national bene
ficiaries some of which were little known
here had tended to pull down the whole drive
below the established goals.
The committeemen were firmly of the opin
ion that there would be no question of the
success of a combined campaign here for
strictly local projects Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts,
Camp Fire Girls, Salvation Army, etc. They
were not certain how much farther, if any,
the effort should go. There are unquestionably
worthy state and national projects that should
receive local assistance, but experience has indi
cated that making the combined drive too com
prehensive is a handicap. This problem will
therefore be approached carefully when a new
community fund organization is launched late
this month.
There is another important point. People
who will work like Trojans for a pet project
say Girl Scouts are inclined to indifference
when the Girl Scout campaign is combined
with others. People just can't be enthusiastic
about everything.
It is therefore advisable not to try to- spread
the program too far. Perhaps there are certain
state and national projects, about which suf
ficient is known here, to qualify them for a
part in the community drive. But it has been
proved that it's not a good idea to take in
everything in sight.
a
Dangerous
THE recent fatal shooting Incident at Tulelake
indicates the need for a new warning to
replace that old one about never pointing an
unloaded gun at yourself it may be loaded.
" The modern adaptation, based on the dangerous
GI prank called "Russian roulette" should
read: "Never point a loaded gun at yourself
it may be loaded."
Information brought out at the inquest nt
Tulelake yesterday indicated that Clyde Gun
dcrsen, the victim of the gun trick, was fascin
ated with Russian roulette. Mr. Gundersen,
it was reported, on certain previous occasions
had demonstrated the trick of spinning a re?
volver cylinder one shell in the chambers
and pulling the trigger with the barrel pointing
at his head. '
There are stories that sometimes GI's in the
war theaters actually bet their lives against
the possibility that the loaded chamber would
always stop out of firing position but doing
nothing to control it. However, the usual trick
was to stop the cylinder in a safe position with
a finger, hidden from the observer by the gun.
Thus it became a sort of sleight-of-hand per
formance, with the demonstrator appearing to
take chances when he didn't.
Mr. Gundersen's death, as interpreted by
witnesses and the inquest jury, emphasizes that
it s still foolish business, under any circum
stances, to point a gun at anything, including
your own head, unless you Intend to do damage
with the weapon.
The World Today
By D.WITT MacKENZIE
Associated Press World Traveler
MEDEMBLIK, Holland, Feb. 13 From the
top of the great dyke which holds bacK
the aggressive waters of the Zuider Zee there
stretches out before you on the land side as far
as the eye can reach a scene of devastation that
is logged in United Nations records as one of
the meanest war crimes of the nazis.
This was the flooding of the great Wieringer
meer farm colony of 48,000 acres by dynamiting
the dykes and letting in the Zuider Zee.
Three villages and 512 farms were wiped out.
The Germans did this without military reason
but solely as an act of hate on April 17, 1945,
just before their surrender.
But you can't beat the Dutch that way, as
Mrs. Mack and I learned with deep satisfaction
during a tour of much of the area with Gov
ernment Supervisor A. Ovinge. Today, only 10
months after the flooding, the great electric
pumps of the development have drained the
land, and the farmers already are starting to
plow for the 1946 crop. To be sure, the snug
homes and barns have been destroyed and the
farmers with their families live miles away in
surrounding towns, but the land hasn't been
ruined because, forsooth, the waters of the
Zuider Zee aren't salt.
a e
Colony Brand New
THE colony was brand new, for the land was
reclaimed from the sea only 15 years ago.
The government had built the tidy houses and
ample barns and had constructed three villages
as well. The colonists rented from the govern
ment. The farmers and their wives were youthful
folk just starting out in life. The whole great
area throbbed with youth, and the birthrate
was so heavy that babies grew on every bush.
The land blossomed. The colonists were
happy and the government was as proud as
punch over its model experiment. Into this
Arcadian scene stalked the beast.
The Bosche long had hated the colonists
because the latter were anti-nazi and there
. were many underground workers among them.
So the invaders, even though they were about
to surrender, flooded the happy Eden.
The Hitlerites blew two huge gaps In the
tall dyke and the little Dutch boy's thumb
couldn't cope with that. The flood tore through
the openings and covered the land to a depth
of 15 feet in places. The Germans did notify
the colony a few hours in advance so that there
was no loss of human life and only two per
cent of the cattle were drowned. But the
lovely farm houses and the villages with their
handsome churches and public buildings large
ly dissolved in the waters. Even the trees
were killed.

HOSE PROBLEM
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To
the Editor) I'm writing in be
half of all working women in
Klamath Falls. We hope you can
help us. We are in dire need
of hose. The department stores
of our city all have hose at va
rious times and put them on sale
anywhere from 9 a. m. until 4
p. m., the very hours most of us
are at work. The housewives of
Klamath Falls are always on
hand to get every pair, one wo
man was heard to say, "I've six
pair of nylons now but I don't
guess it will hurt to have some
more." That leaves us, the work
ing women, to go to work hose
less, or with so many runners in
our hose you would almost think
they were lace.
Moe's, The Women's Store, is
the only store that gave us a
chance, when last fall they put
hose on sale for working women
only.
I'm asking if more stores won't
give us a chance at their hose,
which I'm sure will be greatly
appreciated by every working
woman in Klamath Falls.
MRS. H. R. WILLIAMS.

Court Orders
New Trial
SALEM, Feb. 13 (IP) The
state supreme court ordered a
new trial today in a Multnomah
county case in which Sylvia
Shaw had been awarded $8000
for injuries she received June
18, 1944, when she stepped into
a hole while entering Jantzen
Beach park.
The court's decision, by Jus
tice Percy R. Kelly, reversed
Circuit Judge Louis P. Hewitt of
Portland.
She collected the damages in
circuit court from the Hayden
Island Amusement company, but
the verdict was reversed by the
high court on grounds that Judge
Hewitt erred in instructing the
jury.
